[rbak-nsp] Strange problem with PPPoE Authentication

[Alireza Soltanian]

Hi

 

The problem is user does not play with reset button. When we open the Web
page of CPE, username is there but password is blank.

We also some cases which username and password were there and CPE has no
problem in configuration.

We have some CISCO BRASes as well. This issue was not observed on them!!!

I see this happen on our Redback when the username on the modem is blank
(empty).  That happens on our modems when a customer holds down the reset
button for 20+ seconds - factory default.  I also thought it was strange.

Hi

 

Recently, we encounter a strange problem. PPPoE password of some CPEs are
not passed to the RADIUS servers via Redback. Instead a default password
'Redback' is passed. When we checked the CPE configuration sometimes the
password was vanished and sometimes password is there.

We block http access to the CPEs from WAN side so the chance for some
hacking stuff is very low. This problem is not for all users and we have it
randomly.

Did anybody here encounter this issue?

 

Thanks
